Website for buying and selling used camping equipment?

Post by LeftOvers »

I'd like to buy a Kelty Tioga backpack. The frame is what I most want.

Does anyone know of a website where people buy and sell used camping equipment? I've been watching Craig's List(s) for most of Wisconsin and haven't seen many at a price I wanted to pay (for some, I just never got replies).

Thanks.

If you have an old frame that you like for a pattern they are pretty simple to build.I built one last spring. it cost around 20 bucks.I didn't weld it though ,I used poprivets .So far so good :) . Just a thought.

I am assuming that you need an aluminum frame???I don't know that model of pack.

Thanks Drobarge for the info on the Gear Trade website. Do you have any experience buying or selling on it?
And, Tree Rattt, interesting suggestion. Actually, I have a Kelty Tioga in excellent shape - I could use it as a model.

The full story - I love the comfort and fit of the Tioga. It's been perfect for long distances on trails, and it's the one I learned in. I've carried it in separate trips for several months in total. I want to make a lighter pack for it and wanted to have both available at the same time (surprising how many companions I've outfitted with what I have). I have another frame that might be modified or cannibalized for my purpose.
